    Brazilian Samsung LT27B350LB w/ BN44 00506A - blinking standby LED

    Hi all.

    Recently joined the forum as particularly keen to thoroughly learn about SMPS's.

    So, a friend asked if his 27" Samsung LED TV could be fixed.

    The problem being that it would switch off after a few minutes and leave a black screen with a blinking red standby LED.

    After finding one cap shorting out, all of the electrolytic caps were changed.

    With the TV still laying screen down, it was switched on and left playing music and videos for some five hours or so, at which point it was decided to replace the back cover and test again.
    What happened was that after reassembly, and back on it's 'feet', the TV then refused to switch on. Just a black screen with a standby LED which flashes twice, five times in a row.

    And this is where we are still at.

    The PSU is a BN44 00506A

    No voltages on the PSU output with the boards connected.

    If the cable between the power board and main board is disconnected, the backlights come on,
    At that same time, the output voltages from the PSU read as follows.

    Pins
    1, 12.4v
    2, 3.3v
    3, 12.4
    4, 2.3v
    5, 12.4v
    6, 4.7v
    7, 12.4v
    8, 0 v
    9, 0 v
    10, 0v
    11, 5.2v
    12, 5.2v
    13,5.2v
    14, 3.2v

    Nothing appears burnt, nor have I found anything shorted.

    The regulator chip is an STR W6053s.

    I am wondering if something in the PSU is failing under load or whether the main board is shorting somewhere?

    Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.

    You did put the corrects screws back when replacing the feet ? I've seen on more than one occasion too long screws fitted which have damaged a PCB below.

      Hi,
      thanks for the response.


      All the rear cover screws were/are the same size.

      But I'll have close look

        Update.

        So, after rather aggressively wiggling the main board using the coaxial cable connector, the monitor has come back to life...

        Methinks the mainboard might need 10 minutes at 200°C...

        Not happening now, as it is close to midnight in Rio.

        Thanks for the pointer diif

          It's not a cake! Besides it's too cold to melt lead free solder.
          I'd double check the connections and wires, it's unlikely the BGA failed at the point of putting on the back, can we get a photo of it all.

            Enclosing more images of my cake...

            You can see the corrosion from the Brazilian humidity

              It seems more likely to me that one or more of the pins/terminals on the board has a dry joint, and as I am limited here tools-wise it may have to go in the oven.

                Update.

                Taking into consideration that the TV/Monitor was dead anyway..

                Wrapped the main board in tin foil and cooked it in a small pre-heated electric oven for just over ten minutes at just over 200 degrees C:

                Don't wish to jinx things, however the TV is now working fine.

                Nice clear image and sound with all inputs functioning.

                  Samsung BN44-00259A standby question
                  by Crystaleyes
                  Hi all.

                  I started a thread while back regarding TV power supply standby circuitry as it is something I am not quite on top of.
                  SMPS theory and function is becoming more familiar, however the standby part is still a bit of a mystery.

                  Anyway, a friend has this TV with the above mentioned power supply board which has no standby voltage, nor any other voltages leaving the board.
                  The mains AC comes in fine, gets filtered and rectified with power is on the main filter cap as well as the transformer and drain pins of the ICE3B0665J, but that's it.

                  Zombie Samsung UN55NU6900F dead / no standby voltage - randomly came to life after hours of troubleshooting then died
                  by tvguy12012012120
                  This is my first attempt at troubleshooting a board like this, I know I could just buy a new board but I'm curious to figure out how this works. I've been testing different components in the evenings this week and I think the problem is with the IC failing to start up for some reason. When the board is plugged in there is no standby voltage.

                  Then today it randomly sprung to life like a zombie but shortly died thereafter. I have no idea why it would have done that and its the first time I've seen it running. I discharged capacitors on the board last night, then it was sitting today....

                  Samsung 60" Plasma TV, Blinking Standby LED
                  by rju
                  A sports bar/restaurant with ~40 Samsung Plasma TVs. This is the 2nd TV that has a blinking standby LED. I'd like to learn how to repair these TVs because I'd guess that over time more and more of them will develop this symptom. My hope is to repair the bad PCB, however if that's not realistic then I'd replace the bad PCB.

                  Model PN60F5300AF, Type PN60F5300, Model Code PN60F5300AFXZA

                  Upon applying power, the red standby is steady. When I tap the power button, the standby LED immediately blinks twice, then it blinks once ~ every 4 secs. Also, Upon applying power, the...
